酸沉降地区大气汞对土壤-植物系统汞累积影响的调查研究 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
按酸沉降危害程度的差异及不同功能区,进行了大气、植物、土壤汞的同步调查采样分析。结果表明,大气汞对土壤-植物系统汞累积的影响非常明显,土壤、植物含汞量均随大气汞浓度的升高而升高,土壤-植物系统汞累积与大气汞浓度有显著的相关(相关系数分别为r植=0.882**,n=53;r土=0.741**,n=52)。调查还发现,当大气汞浓度大于30ng/m3时,土壤-植物系统汞累积较为明显,因此把30ng(Hg)/m3作为本地区大气汞对土壤-植物系统造成二次污染的临界浓度 相似文献

本文研究了受汞污染的农田土壤—植物系统中汞的分布,迁移和积累的规律。土壤中的汞在离污染源3公里的范围内含量最高;主要集中在0一20厘米的土壤上层,几乎不往下迁移。植物可以从土壤和大气中吸收、积累汞。在汉沽区没有发现由于汞污染所造成的植物受害症状。植物中的汞含量与土壤中的汞含量成正相关。土壤汞含量与水稻茎叶汞含量的相关系数为0.836(N=7),与糙米汞含量的相关系数为0.898(N=7)。植物不同部位的汞含量根>叶>茎>种子。不同作物种子比较,糙米>高粱>小麦。在大气中汞含量高的地段,植物地上部分汞含量高于根。土壤、植物中的汞不断地向大气扩散,而大气中的汞随着降雨、降尘等又不断地沉降到土壤和植物的气生表面,并可被植物吸收。汞向其邻近地区扩散的能力较小。 相似文献

不同汞化合物对水稻、小麦的影响及作物对汞的吸收积累 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
本试验研究了5种汞化合物(HgS,HgO,CH_3HgCl,HgCl_2,C_8H_8O_2Hg)对水稻、小麦生长发育的影响及作物对汞的吸收、积累。结果表明,C_8H_8O_2Hg对作物的危害比HgCl_2和CH_3HgCl大,HgS的危害最轻。不同汞化合物对水稻蒸腾作用的抑制程度看出,C_8H_8O_2Hg的毒性大,HgS的毒性最小;抑制小麦光合作用的程度看出,HgCl_2的毒性大、HgS的毒性小。不同汞化合物处理的土壤中,水稻、小麦的含汞量是随着汞化合物的浓度增加而增加,以C_8H_8O_2Hg处理的土壤,作物吸收的汞最多,转移到地上部的汞最多,HgS处理的土壤,汞转移到地上部最少;小麦吸收的汞大部积累在根中,地上部(茎叶)的含汞量显著比水稻少;各处理的土壤总汞含量与水稻的含汞量相关性显著。土壤中的HgS、HgCl_2可以转化为CH_3HgCl,并转运到植物体各器官。 本试验是用盆栽试验的方法,土壤用不同浓度不同汞化台物处理。 用的“称重法”测定了水稻的蒸腾作用。用FQW-CO_2红外气体分析仪测定了小麦的光合强度。用F-732测汞仪测定了水稻、小麦不同器官和土壤中的总汞含量。用巯基棉气相色谱法测定了甲基汞的含量。 相似文献

汞在SPAC-人体系统中的转递及主要影响因素 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
汞(Hg)是环境中一种具有高度毒性的重金属元素,且具有较高挥发性,因而作为一种全球性的污染物而备受关注。汞在SPAC系统中的迁移转化,是全球汞循环的重要环节,与人类的建康密切相关。汞通过食物链进入人体并在体内蓄积受多种因素影响,主要包括3个方面:土壤性质(如土壤汞含量、pH、有机质、粘土矿物等),植物特性(植物类型、种类和生育期等),大气状况(如光照强度、气温和大气湿度等)。此外,锌、硒和抗氧化剂等的存在也有较大影响。综述了汞在SPAC-人体系统中的迁移积累及其调控机理。 相似文献

研究了某汞矿区附近蔬菜地的汞污染现状及其对周围居民的健康风险。通过汞矿区附近连片菜地所采集的15种蔬菜中总汞含量的分析发现,不同蔬菜的汞含量水平依次为叶菜类茄果类块茎类,其中叶菜类生菜的汞含量最高(57 mg·kg-1),块茎类白萝卜的汞含量最低(1.67 mg·kg-1)。对叶菜类和块茎类蔬菜不同部位的汞含量分析发现,同种蔬菜的不同部位对汞的富集能力不同。无论叶菜类还是块茎类,地上部分的汞含量均高于地下部分。其中,叶菜类蔬菜地上部分的外叶、内叶和混合叶的汞含量水平为外叶混合叶内叶。红萝卜和白萝卜各部位对汞的富集能力相似,即叶片萝卜表皮萝卜根。同时,对研究区中13个点位大气和土壤总汞含量分析表明,大气中总汞的含量在128~1109ng·m-3,土壤中总汞的含量水平为3.88~91.62 mg·kg-1,均严重超标。通过对汞矿区居民摄入蔬菜的汞暴露评估与健康风险评价可知,单独蔬菜摄入不会危及附近居民健康,但若综合其他暴露途径,潜在健康风险较高。 相似文献

Summary Studies were conducted to evaluate the uptake of mercury by wheat (Triticum aestivum L. runar) and beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. marshal) growth on an oxisol with different levels of 2-methoxyethylmercury chloride (Aretan) and mercuric chloride. Dry matter and grain yields of wheat were little affected by either Aretan or mercuric chloride, although Aretan at 50 mg Hg/kg soil delayed germination by four to five days. Germination of beans grown with both compounds at the 50 mg Hg/kg soil failed completely, even after repeated sowing. Yields were somewhat, though not significantly, decreased by mercury chloride up to 5 mg Hg/kg soil.The concentration of Hg in wheat straw and grain increased significantly with increased levels of Aretan and HgCl2 application, with more Hg taken up by the plants grown with HgCl2 than with those grown with Aretan. Translocation of Hg to grain was greater in the plants grown with HgCl2.The concentration of Hg in bean straw, but not grain, increased significantly with increasing levels of Aretan and HgCl2 application, and was greater in plants grown with HgCl2. Translocation to grain was low, with little difference between plants grown with Aretan or HgCl2. 相似文献

The present in situ phytoextraction approach uses paragrass (Brachiaria mutica (Forssk) Stapf) as a hyper accumulator for attenuation of chromium level in soil and mine waste water at South Kaliapani chromite mine area of Orissa. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) for Cr was maximum (0.334) in 100 days grown paragrass weeds. Transportation index (Ti) i.e. 6.16 and total accumulation rate (TAR) i.e. 8.2 mg kg(-1)day(-1) was maximum in 125 days old paragrass grown in Cr contaminated experimental cultivated plots. Cr bioaccumulation in roots was nearly 1000 times more than shoots. Paragrass showed luxuriant growth with massive fibrous roots when grown over Cr contaminated soils (11,170 mg/ kg dry soil). Cr bioaccumulation varies significantly with plant age, biomass and level of Cr contamination in irrigated mine waste water and soil. Paragrass could be used as hyperaccumulators as it showed rapid massive growth with a high tolerance to Cr. 相似文献

Uptake and Distribution of Mercury within Higher Plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The uptake and distribution of inorganic mercury (HgCl2) within higher plants (Pisum sativum and Mentha spicata) was examined using solution culture and radiotracer techniques. Plants were found to tolerate an external level of 1 mgHg/kg of solution but both physiological and biochemical processes were affected at 5 mgHg/kg and 10 mgHg/kg. The uptake of Hg into plants grown in hydroponic solution was a function of external concentration. Over the concentration range considered the accumulation of Hg in the roots was linear on a log-log basis although the uptake of the element into the shoots appeared to be two-phased. The distribution of Hg in plants was asymmetrical with much greater amounts of the element in the roots than the shoots. Although the level of Hg increased generally in plant tissues with increasing external levels, the proportion retained in the roots, relative to the shoots, was constant (approximately 95%). Two binding characteristics of the Hg within plant tissue were detected. A major proportion of Hg was tightly bound, being unaffected by treatment with ethanol and hydrochloric acid. The remaining Hg in the tissue was removed by either water or hydrochloric acid treatment. Cell fractionation indicated that the major binding component of Hg in plant tissues was the cell wall. 相似文献

Mercury uptake and translocation in Impatiens walleriana plants grown in the contaminated soil from Oak Ridge 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mercury (Hg) contaminated soils from Oak Ridge, Tennessee were investigated for phytoavailability of mercury as measured by degree of Hg translocation in aboveground biomass of Impatiens walleriana plants grown in the soils. After 90 days of incubation, results revealed a higher concentration of total Hg in the leaves than in the flowers or the stems. Plants that were grown in the soils with higher Hg concentrations showed significantly higher Hg uptake and translocation in the aboveground plant-biomass, and the correlation with the initial soil-Hg was significant for the leaves and the stems in the plants that were tested. On an average, only 4.06 microg of Hg could be found in the above ground plant biomass of all the plants, compared to an average 3673.50 microg of initial total Hg concentrations in these soils. Statistical analysis revealed a greater affinity of Hg for the soil carbon, which supported the finding of this study on low soil Hg bioavailability. 相似文献

Mercury toxicity in plants 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Mercury poisoning has become a problem of current interest as a result of environmental pollution on a global scale. Natural
emissions of mercury form two-thirds of the input; manmade releases form about one-third. Considerable amounts of mercury
may be added to agricultural land with sludge, fertilizers, lime, and manures. The most important sources of contaminating
agricultural soil have been the use of organic mercurials as a seed-coat dressing to prevent fungal diseases in seeds. In
general, the effect of treatment on germination is favorable when recommended dosages are used. Injury to the seed increases
in direct proportion to increasing rates of application. The availability of soil mercury to plants is low, and there is a
tendency for mercury to accumulate in roots, indicating that the roots serve as a barrier to mercury uptake. Mercury concentration
in aboveground parts of plants appears to depend largely on foliar uptake of Hg0 volatilized from the soil. Uptake of mercury has been found to be plant specific in bryophytes, lichens, wetland plants,
woody plants, and crop plants. Factors affecting plant uptake include soil or sediment organic content, carbon exchange capacity,
oxide and carbonate content, redox potential, formulation used, and total metal content. In general, mercury uptake in plants
could be related to pollution level. With lower levels of mercury pollution, the amounts in crops are below the permissible
levels. Aquatic plants have shown to be bioaccumulators of mercury. Mercury concentrations in the plants (stems and leaves)
are always greater when the metal is introduced in organic form. In freshwater aquatic vascular plants, differences in uptake
rate depend on the species of plant, seasonal growthrate changes, and the metal ion being absorbed. Some of the mercury emitted
from the source into the atmosphere is absorbed by plant leaves and migrates to humus through fallen leaves. Mercury-vapor
uptake by leaves of the C3 speciesoats, barley, and wheat is five times greater than that by leaves of the C4 species corn, sorghum, and crabgrass. Such differential uptake by C3 and C4 species is largely attributable to internal resistance to mercury-vapor binding. Airborne mercury thus seems to contribute
significantly to the mercury content of crops and thereby to its intake by humans as food. Accumulation, toxicity response,
and mercury distribution differ between plants exposed through shoots or through roots, even when internal mercury concentrations
in the treated plants are similar. Throughfall and litterfall play a significant role in the cycling and deposition of mercury.
The possible causal mechanisms of mercury toxicity are changes in the permeability of the cell membrane, reactions of sulphydryl
(-SH) groups with cations, affinity for reacting with phosphate groups and active groups of ADP or ATP, and replacement of
essential ions, mainly major cations. In general, inorganic forms are thought to be more available to plants than are organic
ones.
Plants can be exposed to mercurials either by direct administration as antifungal agents, mainly to crop plants through seed
treatment or foliar spray, or by accident. The end points screened are seed germination, seedling growth, relative growth
of roots and shoots, and, in some case, studies of leaf-area index, internode development, and other anatomical characters.
Accidental exposures occur through soil, water, and air pollution. The level of toxicity is usually tested under laboratory
conditions using a wide range of concentrations and different periods of exposure. Additional parameters include biochemical
assays and genetical studies. The absorption of organic and inorganic mercury from soil by plants is low, and there is a barrier
to mercury translocation from plant roots to tops. Thus, large increases in mercury levels in soil produce only modest increases
in mercury levels in plants by direct uptake from soil. Injuries to cereal seeds caused by organic mercurials has been characterized
by abnormal germination and hypertrophy of the roots and coleoptile.
Mercury affects both light and dark reactions of photosynthesis. Substitution of the central atom of chlorophyll, magnesium,
by mercury in vivo prevents photosynthetic light harvesting in the affected chlorophyll molecules, resulting in a breakdown
of photosynthesis. The reaction varies with light intensity. A concentration and time-dependent protective effect of GSH seems
to be mediated by the restricted uptake of the metal involving cytoplasmic protein synthesis. Plant cells contain aquaporins,
proteins that facilitate the transport of water, in the vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) and the plasma membrane. Many aquaporins
are mercury sensitive, and in AQP1 a mercury-sensitive cysteine residue (Cys-189) is present adjacent to a conserved Asn-Pro-Ala
motif. At low concentrations mercury has a toxic effect on the degrading capabilities of microorganisms. Sensitivity to the
metal can be enhanced by a reduction in pH, and tolerance of mercury by microorganisms has been found to be in the order:
total population > nitrogen fixers > nitrifiers. Numerous experiments have been carried out to study the genetic effects of
mercury compounds in experimental test systems using a variety of genetic endpoints. The most noticeable and consistent effect
is the induction of c-mitosis through disturbance of the spindle activity, resulting in the formation of polyploid and aneuploid
cells and c-tumors. Organomercurials have been reported to be 200 times more potent than inorganic mercury. Exposure to inorganic
mercury reduces mitotic index in the root-tip cells and increases the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in degrees directly
proportional to the concentrations used and to the duration of exposure. The period of recovery after removal of mercury is
inversely related to the concentration and duration of exposure.
Bacterial plasmids encode resistance systems for toxic metal ions, including Hg2+, functioning by energy-dependent efflux of toxic ions through ATPases and chemiosmotic cationproton antiporters. The inducible
mercury resistance (mer) operon encodes both a mercuric ion uptake and detoxification enzymes. In gram-negative bacteria a periplasmic protein,MerP, an inner-membrane transport protein,MerT, and a cytoplasmic enzyme, mercuric reductase, theMerA protein, are responsible for the transport of mercuric ions into cells and their reduction to elemental mercury, Hg(II).
InThiobacillus ferrooxidans, an acidophilic chemoautotrophic bacterium sensitive to mercury ions, a group of mercury-resistant strains, which volatilize
mercury, has been isolated. The entire coding sequence of the mercury-ion resistance gene has been located in a 2.3 kb fragment
of chromosomal DNA (encoding 56,000 and 16,000 molecular-weight proteins) from strain E-l 5 ofEscherichia coli. Higher plants andSchizosaccharomyces pombe respond to heavy-metal stress of mercury by synthesizing phytochelatins (PCs) that act as chelators. The strength of Hg(II)
binding to glutathione and phytochelatins follows the order: γGlu-Cys-Gly(γGlu-Cys)2Gly(γGlu-Cys)3Gly(γGlu-Cys)4Gly. Suspension cultures of haploid tobacco,Nicotiana tabacum, cells were subjected to ethyl methane sulfonate to raise mercury-tolerant plantlets. HgCl2-tolerant variants were selected from nitrosoguanidine (NTG)-treated suspension cell cultures of cow pea,Vigna unguiculata, initiated from hypocotyl callus and incubated with 18 ⧎g/ml HgCl2. Experiments have been carried out to develop mercury-tolerant plants ofHordeum vulgare through previous exposure to low doses of mercury and subsequent planting of the next generation in mercury-contaminated
soil. Phytoremediation involves the use of plants to extract, detoxify, and/or sequester environmental pollutants from soil
and water. Transgenic plants cleave mercury ions from methylmercury complexes, reduce mercury ions to the metallic form, take
up metallic mercury through their roots, and evolve less toxic elemental mercury. Genetically engineered plants contain modified
forms of bacterial genes that break down methyl mercury and reduce mercury ions. The first gene successfully inserted into
plants wasmerA, which codes for a mercuric ion reductase enzyme, reducing ionic mercury to the less toxic elemental form.MerB codes for an organomercurial lyase protein that cleaves mercury ions from highly toxic methyl mercury compounds. Plants with
themerB gene have been shown to detoxify methyl mercury in soil and water. Both genes have been successfully expressed inArabidopsis thaliana, Brassica (mustard),Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco), andLiriodendron tulipifera (tulip poplar). Plants currently being transformed include cattails, wild rice, andSpartina, another wetland plant. The problem of mercury contamination can be reduced appreciably by combining the standard methods
of phytoremediation—removal of mercury from polluted areas through scavenger plants—with raising such plants both by routine
mutagenesis and by genetic engineering. The different transgenics raised utilizing the two genesmerA andmerB are very hopeful prospects. 相似文献

This is the first report on mercury (Hg) levels in the liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, and brain of raccoon in Europe. It studied Hg concentration in 24 raccoons from the Warta Mouth National Park, northwestern Poland by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The highest total Hg concentrations in the raccoon were found in the liver (maximum, 18.45 mg/kg dry weight), while the lowest in the brain (maximum, 0.49 mg/kg dw). In adult raccoons, Hg concentrations in the liver, kidney, and brain were higher than in immature individuals (p?<?0.001), while similar in skeletal muscle in both age groups. Our results are consistent with studies by other authors conducted in North America in areas with similar environmental conditions. 相似文献

Iron oxy(hydr)oxides (oxides) are important mercury sinks in tropical oxisols and the geochemistry of these two elements are thus closely entwined. We hypothesized that bacterial Fe-oxide reduction in anoxic conditions could be a significant mechanism for mobilizing associated Hg. Iron oxide and mercury solubilisation in presence of two chemical reducers (ascorbate and dithionite, dissolving amorphous and amorphous plus well crystallized Fe-oxides, respectively) was compared to their solubilisation in presence of autochthonous ferri-reducing bacteria. This work was carried out on two soil profiles from a small catchment basin in French Guyana, an oxisol (O) from a well drained slope and a water-saturated hydromorphic soil (H). The chemical reductions showed that in the oxisol 20 and 48% of total Hg (HgT) was associated to amorphous and well crystallized iron oxides, respectively. However, in the hydromorphic soil, no Hg seemed to be associated to amorphous iron oxides while the well crystallized fraction contained less than 9% of HgT. Chemical Fe-oxide reduction showed that Hg solubility was correlated to Fe reduction in the oxisol, demonstrating a relationship between the geochemistry of these two metals. During bacterial growth, while bacterial iron reduction solubilised up to 3.2 mg Fe g?1 soil in the oxisol sample, HgT remained unchanged. No mercury was detected in the culture medium either. However, chemical analysis showed a decrease of the amounts of Hg associated to amorphous and well crystallized Fe-oxides after 14 days of incubation, underlining the potential for iron-reducing bacteria to modify mercury distribution in soil. 相似文献

The induced accumulation of mercury (Hg) by plants was investigated for the species Phaseolus vulgaris (Bush bean), Brassica juncea (Indian mustard), and Vicia villosa (Hairy vetch). All plants were grown in modified Hg-contaminated mine tailings and were treated with sulphur-containing ligands to induce Hg accumulation. The effects of varied substrate Hg concentration and humic acid (HA) level on the induced plant-Hg accumulation for B. juncea were examined. Thiosulphate salts (ammonium and sodium) mobilised Hg in the substrates and caused an increase in the Hg concentration of roots and shoots of all tested plant species. Root Hg accumulation was positively correlated to extractable Hg for (NH4)2S2O3-treated B. juncea plants grown in HA-amended substrates. However, shoot Hg translocation for this species was inhibited at 1.25 g HA kg(-1) of substrate. Mercury-thiosulphate complexes could be translocated and accumulated in the upper parts of the plants up to 25 times the Hg concentration in the substrate. We conclude that shoot Hg accumulation in the presence of thiosulphate salts is dependent upon plant species characteristics (e.g. root surface area) and humic acid content. 相似文献
